Using daylight balanced bulbs is not as much of an issue with digital photography, since you can adjust your white balance to match the color temperature of your light source to a large degree.
Mixed light sources are still a problem, as there is only one white balance.
On my setup above, I actually left the camera set on "auto white balance," and it turned out fine. The incandescent bulb was the only light source for the photo, so the camera handled it pretty well. The colors are pretty accurate.
BTW, I would not recommend lighting food from the front -- with the light coming from where the camera is. Your food will go "flat." I light mine from behind or from the rear-corner. The trash-bag diffuser and lamp above was at about 2-o'clock in relation to the food, with the camera at 6-0'clock. That creates shadows that give the food depth and dimension.
